Labelling and site/system certification program

The Green Cooling Council aims to institute a labeling system to run alongside the 5-star energy labeling system to provide the vendor/operator with visible recognition of the natural, non-global warming refrigerant in use within the unit/system.  The program aims to provide labeling for factory-built units used in domestic, commercial and even industrial applications, and for site installed systems, such as at supermarkets or commercial buildings.
The Australian Environmental Labeling Association (AELA) currently offers such a service to the industry and the Green Cooling Council will coordinate these activities with the AELA.
The Green Cooling Council will appoint a coordinator to manage this program.  In particular his./her tasks will include:

• Coordinate with AELA to negotiate joint scheme
• Define and document labeling scheme for white-goods and commercial cabinets
• Domestic refrigerators and freezers
• Water dispensers
• Window mounted A/C units and small split systems
• Commercial stand-alone display cases (e.g. Coke vending machines and Streets freezer cabinets)
• Define and document labeling scheme for commercial and industrial units;
• Water-cooled and air-cooled fluid chillers
• Publicize and market labeling schemes, in coordination with executive officer.

Once the system is fully operational, the Green Cooling Council will engage the services of a contract inspector to verify compliance with the requirements of the scheme before labels or certificates are issued.
